Why Your Website Is Not Working

I think this is a great comic that sheds some light onto why most websites fail as communication devices. It’s not that the website is poorly designed (which should not happen since we have so many free or cheap templates) but more that the content has little or no relevance to the people who are using the west to gain knowledge. To often website content development is focused on parts of an organization that management feels is important. History, HR and other deep knowledge are the things that can be berried and product or service information should dominate most of a website. Share buttons should be easy to find and only 1 or 2 key messages should be on the front page.

  1. Are you saying the stuff in the righthand class belong on the front page, and the lefthand collection can be buried deeper?

    Your own site is looking good.

    Well you can set up up any way you want. It’s all about making it easy fro people to get to your content and then have features that help them explore the site.
